This one is for all the tc members:
"Even though you know a thousand things, ask the man who knows one"
and this one is just silly I guess:
"When God wants to please a poor man, He lets him lose his donkey and then helps him find it again"
both of them are of turkish origin.

Quoting Trudy: To all the men I loved (and everyone else):
"Women are suprised how much men do forget. Men are surprised how much women do remember." |
Trudy... I hate sexist jokes/comments/quotes

I dont think this one is silly, I think its beautiful and so true. It seems to be saying, even if you think you have nothing, you don't realise your "riches" until something is taken away

Dedicated to everyone who likes this one as much as I did
'In bed that night I invented a special drain that would be underneath every pillow in New York, and would connect to a reservoir. Whenever people cried themselves to sleep, the tears would all go to the same place, and in the morning the weatherman could report if the water level in the Reservoir of Tears had gone up or down, and you could know if New York was in heavy boots. And when something really terrible happened - like a nuclear bomb, or at least a biological weapons attack - an extremely loud siren would go off, telling everyone to get to Central Park to put sandbags around the reservoir.'
From: Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close - Jonathan Safran Foer

for all of you touched by its mistery....
"If I speak in human and angelic tongues, but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal.
And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge and if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing.
If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated,it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth.
It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails".
(the Holly Bible)

It really touches me again and again, it was the text used at the funeral of my father ten years ago.
